An International Seminar to share the learning gained from the intergenerational arts project IF YOU WERE IN MY SHOES

IF YOU WERE IN MY SHOES was a year-long community participatory arts project that involved the creation of individual felt slippers and the collected stories, observations and opinions of 50 participants aged 5-86 years.

At the seminar, the project's creative director, artist facilitators and participants will share experiences of the project.

Delegates will interact with guest speakers who will talk about creativity and participation in the arts as a lifelong cultural entitlement.

This seminar is presented as part of Culture Connects – National Culture Programme for Ireland's Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
